Nut Retainers

Nut Retainers, also known as Cage Nuts, combine the best advantages of spring steel fasteners with the high strength of a multi-threaded nut. They snap readily into bolt-receiving position at panel edges or center panel locations and retain themselves in place. Their application does not require special tools or skills. They can be applied at any convenient spot along the assembly line. The nut floats within the spring steel cage more than enough to offset normal hole misalignment. They are excellent fasteners for blind location assemblies. U-Type and J-Type Nut Retainers are formed from the combination of a square nut and a U or J Speed Nut. They lack the floating properties of a Cage Nut but provide increased thread engagement over the normal U-Nut or J-Nut.
